The tripple is my 18-1/2 foot eider hull with three cockpits. A fun boat to take the kids out in. they have a great time too. we have paddled many miles and they are very comfortable...both have been known to sleep aboard. at 18-1/2 feet it is not too big for me to handle in any conditions that we would feel safe with the kids out in. as you can see, the bow is light so there is room for them to grow
